因袭与调整:晚期方志中的分野叙述——以山东方志为例

Follow and Change:the Writing of Fenye in Chorography of Shandong Province

本文梳理了明清以来的山东方志分野,总结了山东方志中各县分野分布,并进一步考察了其叙述方式与理论背景。本文认为,传统分野理论自身本存在矛盾,且关注对象为较大的行政区划。多数地方志编纂者并非盲目因袭经典或官方文献,而是有自发的思考与书写。在这种背景中,方志分野叙述既有对分野理论本身的怀疑,也有刻意地调整与弥合。如将之置于思想史的背景中理解,能帮助我们更好地认识分野理论的传承脉络及其在思想史与地理学史中的内涵。

Fenye is an important traditional conception of ancient Chinese geography and astronomy, which also is a traditional component of chorography. Former research of this part in chorography always considered it as a reduplicate of classical texts or official histories. By studying chorogra- phy of Shandong Province which from Ming Dynasty to the period of the Republic of China, and plot a map of fenye in an all-sided view, we have a new sight of fenye in chorography. Fenye of chorography is not a simple copy but a comprehensive study which can show the compilers＇ cognition of the certain location. However, the writing of fenye in chorography was assumed to be disordered because of the complexity of the theory of fenye itself. Furthermore, fenye in chorography were doubtful of the theory itself, while they were trying to correct the weakness in the theory. Trying to approach this situation in a background of intellectual history can help us learn the theory of fenye accurately, and it would be propitious of its meaning in geography and intellectual history.
